Building web pages with XHTML 1.1 | |
This element defines a relationship between this page and some other page (referred to as the “linked resource”). For example, you might want to point to the table of contents for the document containing this page. Here is the content model:
element link
{ attribute charset { text }?,
attribute href { xsd:anyURI }?,
attribute hreflang { text }?,
attribute type { text }?,
attribute rel { xsd:NMTOKENS }?,
attribute rev { xsd:NMTOKENS }?,
attribute media { text }?,
Common.attrib,
empty
}
charset
The character set of the linked resource, if
different from the referring document. See Section 15.2, “The charset attribute: Declaring a
character set”.
href
The URI of the linked resource.
hreflang
The language code of the linked resource. For
definitions of the language codes, see Section 15.1, “The xml:lang attribute”.
type
The MIME type of the linked resource. This describes the resources format, e.g., HTML or CSS. See Section 6.7, “MIME types: Defining a resource's format”.
rel
Describes the type of relationship between this
file and the linked resource. For possible values,
see Section 6.5, “The link datatype”. For example, if
document beverly.html is the
one following this one, you might use the element
“<link rel='next'
href='beverly.html'/>”.
rev
Describes a reverse relationship, the opposite of
the rel attribute. For example, if
the current document precedes beverly.html in the logical sequence,
you might use the element “<link
rev='prev' href='beverly.html'/>”.
media
Describes the media for which the linked resource is set up. For possible values, see Section 6.6, “Media type” .
Common.attrib
A link element can include any of
the attributes discussed in Section 15.3, “The common attributes: Common.attrib”.
Here is an example of a link element that
specifies that the document uses deadwood.css as its CSS stylesheet:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='deadwood.css' type='text/css'/>
